Merry Christmas and a Very Happy New Year

Its getting cold so I think its time for this bird to fly to sunnier shores, so I will call it a day for this year on this Blog, BUT I will be back in Jan 2008 after much relaxing, reading and meditation over the coming weeks, returning I hope a renewed Sage King.

I certainly will be keeping up, and if I anything brilliant enters my head while drinking my 6th sundowner of an evening, I will rush to the computer to share it with you at once.

Many thanks for reading my blog, and if you don't agree with what I say (which probably makes you my wife) I hope I have said something interesting and challenging, and I have not made a total fool of myself.

Enjoy the cold, the Christmas rush, the crap telly  (saving all the good stuff up for Christmas no doubt), and our dipstick Governments  antics and have a big strong drink on me.

Richard Dawkins, Is He Real?

..I mean I cannot be sure can I? All I have is a lot of indirect evidence supporting the idea that Richard is real, but still we could all be in a dream machine could we not?

You see this is my problem with Atheism, a non-belief can never be a belief in itself can it? shall I knock on my neighbours door and ask him if he as heard the bad news?

So after browsing the God Delusion, I thought I might help Richard out a little, a shortcut so to speak.

"If the probability of something happening is less than about 1e-15 (or 0.000000000000001) it is considered to be impossible. The probability of life occurring 'by accident' is far less than this, therefore it must be a miracle caused by God.." 

There is a lot wrong with the above statement itignores the size of the universe. There are hundreds of billions of galaxies, each with hundreds of billions of stars, any of which might have planets capable of supporting life. Even an "impossibly improbable" event is almost a certainty (and we already know of one planet that supports life).

Lets experiment! Shuffle a deck of playing cards, and lay them out on a table. The probability of the sequence you see appearing is 1/52 for the first card, 1/52 x 1/51 at the second card, 1/52 x 1/51 x 1/50 by the third card and so on. The probability that you produced the sequence you just did is 1/52 x 1/51 x 1/50......x 1/3 x 1/2 x 1/1 ( more simply, 1/(52!) ), or 1.2398e-68 (which is an incredible 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000012398). How can this be?!? Maybe you are hallucinating and it did not actually occur?

You have just done something statistically impossible, trillions of times more unlikely than the formation of life (some say 1e-50 is the "impossibility threshold" instead, but we've beaten that as well). You could even do it six times before breakfast every day.

Bit of a Mis-match?

The public seem to think one thing is right, and our elite think quite the opposite, mind you our elites are not really interested in other opinions, they think its all about listening, and not hearing.

I wonder how long this dislocation can go on without serious consequenses?

Goblin King + Shit + Fan + heading his way

+ Northern Rock

And the bill will be heading our way no doubt, This I think will be NuLabs black Wednesday, It will be a slow burner, but he will burn for it.

Events dear boy, events!

Wanna Make Some Cash?

Start selling these things, they are absolutely brilliant

Carry on Britian.....

Starring New Labour with assorted "stars"

Ordinary criminal law can't deal with terrorists.

Sun Tzu, Art of war, always do what your enemy does not want you to do..And what do the Islamist say to other Muslims? "here are we fighting for holy Islam and the divine way and our foe wants to treat us as criminals, which also means they want to treat you as a criminal" forgive my cynicism but flying planes into buildings is not really the same as nicking wheel hubs.

5,000 illegal immigrants working as security guards in UK's most sensitive buildings
Why not just pull your pants down and let AQ etc shove it up your backside?

Official: Police leave 2m crimes uninvestigated

I know this is a fact, my neighbour had is motorcycle nicked, everyone know who nicked it, some of us saw him in the act, not one visit, not one statement was taken, the police have more or less given up in many areas. leave it to the insurance companies seems to be the attitude.

Forget the paedophiles, solve low level crime to meet government targets, police told

It seems to me that it is debatable if we do actually have a police force (too confrontational a term apparently) service in this county?

Pure Comedy!

I like this Guy,

Sad thing is he would probably be arrested over here!

An Australian Summer

Some Australians are unhappy with summer and take the chance to "walk against the warming"

What I want to know on a like for like basis, what produces less CO2, 200 miles walking (one year on your feet) or 200 miles motoring in an average car? Its not as straight forward as you might think, it takes land to produce your fuel, FOOD, animals,tractors, transport ,storage,packaging ,cooking, buildings to sell it all in etc. and all that waste! which uses lots energy to take your shit away and keep your water clean and keep you clean and healthy.

I suspect that oil might be more green, after all its a very efficient in the bang for your buck dept, unlike cabbage which does not seem to burn as well.

All we need to do is persuade the doomsters of our case and get them to stop eating, a better world will surely result.

Russia Update

I take it all back about Russia,

Con Coughlin unmasks the the great big loverble bear behind the those nasty looking claws.

Personally I think Israel will lose, football turns the most rational of us into Neanderthal bone crushers, its all part of the addiction.

Today..

I am remembering my Great Granddad who fought in WW1, who used to sit me on his knee and scare me ridged with stories about why his leg was deformed, His cousin who fought in the boar war at Ladysmith, and a few years later fought in the great war fought along side South Africans he had previously fought against.

I am remembering my Granddad who was one of the first troops to reach Bergen Belsen concentration camp in 1945, and had to round up the local Germans to march them around the pits of bodies, he came home and suffered severe depression most of his life, was a alcoholic and addicted gambler (probably as a result of his depression), he had nightmares that would wake everyone up in the house, it was very frightening especially when you are very young, and you don't understand what is going on. He died in his late 50s, waiting for a heart transplant at Papworth.

I am also remembering my step granddad who was one of the last troops to leave the Palestinian territories, so I have a first hand account about the birth of Israel that does not tally with the lies that come out of the Arab world, he also went on to fight in Malaysia against the Maoists.

Most of all I am remembering that war does not end for the troops when they leave the battlefield, it does not end for their families and friends either.

Islamist Double think

Dr Bari: Government stoking Muslim tension, From todays DT.

>>Sir Salman Rushdie should never have been knighted, he says. "He caused a huge amount of distress and discordance with his book, it should have been pulped."<<

>>According to a recent report by the Policy Exchange think-tank, the bookshop at the east London Mosque, which Dr Bari chairs, stocks extremist literature."The bookshops are independent businesses," he says. "We can't just go in and tell them what to sell …<<

But he thinks its OK to tell the publishers what to publish! Pulping and burning books really is something the Nazis did. If so called leaders of the Muslim community cannot understand the culture and respect and integrate into the country they live in, what chance have we with the rest of them?

It seems our fears are very well founded.

The Australian Model

Seems having a managed immigration policy is leading to Australia paying it workers more money, inflation being held by higher interest rates, and thus house prices remaining more affordable, and the economy on a more even keel. But then again Australia is a nation that believes in governing itself.

I liked this >>The Australian Bureau of Statistics counts anyone who works fewer than 35 hours a week as part-time.<< What does that say about the EUropeans? especially the French?
